Question

What is the net production of atp molecules per glucose molecule in the muscles if glycogen is the source of the glucose?.

Answer 1

3 mol

The net production of ATP molecules per glucose molecule in the muscles if glycogen is the source of the glucose is 3 mol.

• NADH is converted to NAD+ via the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, which is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase, in order to maintain the oxidation of glucose and the net yield of 2 ATP per mol of glucose oxidized (or 3 mol of ATP if the source is muscle glycogen).

• ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate

The following reaction occurs in the muscles when glycogen is broken down:

(Glucose)n + Pi → Glucose-1-phosphate + (Glucose)n-1

How much ATP is produced when glucose is converted to glycogen?

• 2 ATP is produced when glucose is converted to glycogen
• For every glucose molecule to be converted into a molecule of glycogen, two ATP are needed.

How is ATP produced from glycogen?

• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules are needed for muscle contraction, and they are produced by the oxidation of glucose by the muscle cells during anaerobic and aerobic processes.
• Muscle glycogen particles are broken down during intense, intermittent exercise and throughout prolonged physical activity.
